Technology Overview
This technology introduces an additional valve to the traditional single flush valve system in vacuum-assisted toilets, aimed at minimizing noise. By carefully coordinating the operation of these two valves, the invention effectively reduces the pressure differential that causes loud noise during flushing, offering a quieter and more comfortable environment.
Key Advantages
- Significant noise reduction during flushing operations
- Optimized control system for enhanced acoustic performance
- Potential for complete elimination of noise spikes
Problems Addressed
- Loud noise associated with vacuum-assisted toilet flushing
- Discomfort and disturbance caused to passengers on aircraft and cruise ships
Market Applications
- Aerospace industry, specifically in commercial and private aircraft
- Maritime industry, including cruise ships and large yachts
- Potential licensing opportunities for manufacturers of vacuum-assisted toilet systems
